Marie Corelli, Wormwood, and the Diversity of Decadence by Jessica DeCoux

“…Indeed, Corelli’s novel Wormwood is generally read as an anti-Decadent creed, or at the very least a novel which disingenuously castigates Decadence while titillating readers with themes and tropes “co-opted” from works of that genre.In fact, Wormwood is so often read in these terms because it eludes easy interpretation, a quality that marks it as a distinctly Decadent text. …”

Accommodation: a cognitive heuristic for background information by Misha-Laura Müller

“…As for the accommodation of presupposition, it is defined as a process by which the listener updates – also at minimal costs – the presupposed information whenever it is not mutually shared. Accommodation is generally considered to be a voluntary process (cf. von Fintel 2000), which may be inhibited when information is problematic or contradicts the listener’s prior beliefs.The aim of this paper is to challenge the idea that accommodation operates only on traditional presuppositional triggers (Beaver 2001). …”

Gérer et alerter by Valérie November, Reynald Delaloye, Marion Penelas

“…The introduction of emergency and crisis management measures appears more effective, however, than the reorganisation of planning and development procedures, a process which generally takes a lot longer. Nevertheless, since the recollection of events tends to fade with time, it is important that risks find a more concrete form of spatial expression on the landscape.…”

Modeling and analysis of taeniasis and cysticercosis transmission dynamics in humans, pigs and cattle by Joshua, A. Mwasunda, Jacob I, Irunde, Damian, Kajunguri, Dmitry, Kuznetsov

“…In this case, other parameters with negative sensitivity indices such as death rate of taenia eggs and proportions of unconsumed infected beef and pork can be considered for disease control. Generally, to control the diseases, more efforts should be made directed to reducing the number of humans who have taeniasis and defecate in the open environment. …”

Hydrochemical Characteristic and Water Quality Evaluation of Shallow Groundwater in Guangzhou by YUAN Shengyan, ZHU Aiping, ZENG Hongping, FENG Xiaolei, HUANG Bobo, LI Nian

“…To investigate the hydrochemical characteristics and water quality of the shallow groundwater in Guangzhou and the potential human health risks posed by the nitrates in the shallow groundwater,this study collected 132 shallow groundwater samples in Guangzhou during November 2014 to February 2015.The hydrochemical characteristics of the shallow groundwater in Guangzhou were analyzed by the Piper trilinear diagram.The water quality of the groundwater and the health risks caused by nitrate pollution were assessed by the Nemerow comprehensive index method and a health risk evaluation model,respectively.The results showed that the main chemicals in the shallow groundwater in the study area were Ca-Na-HCO₃,Ca-HCO₃,Ca-Mg-HCO₃,and Ca-Na-HCO₃-Cl.The groundwater quality was generally poor,and manganese,ammonia nitrogen,nitrates,and pH were the main factors behind the poor water quality of the groundwater.The results of health risk assessment revealed that the health risks for children exposed by nitrates via drinking water intake and skin contact were both significantly higher than those for adult females and males.Furthermore,the health risks caused by drinking water intake were much higher than those caused by skin contact.Those all indicated that the health risks exposed by nitrates for different groups of people in the study area were mainly through drinking water intake.Therefore,serious attention should be paid to the potential human health risks posed by long-term drinking of the groundwater in the study area.…”

Bipartite Diametrical Graphs of Diameter 4 and Extreme Orders by Salah Al-Addasi, Hasan Al-Ezeh

“…For a bipartite diametrical graph of diameter 4 and partite sets 𝑈 and 𝑊, where 2𝑚=|𝑈|≤|𝑊|, we prove that 2𝑚 is a sharp upper bound of |𝑊| and construct an 𝑆-graph 𝐺(2𝑚,2𝑚) in which this upper bound is attained, this graph can be viewed as a generalization of the Rhombic Dodecahedron. Then we show that for any 𝑚≥2, the graph 𝐺(2𝑚,2𝑚) is the unique (up to isomorphism) bipartite diametrical graph of diameter 4 and partite sets of cardinalities 2𝑚 and 2𝑚, and hence in particular, for 𝑚=3, the graph 𝐺(6,8) which is just the Rhombic Dodecahedron is the unique (up to isomorphism) bipartite diametrical graph of such a diameter and cardinalities of partite sets. …”
